We have been coming to Shady Shakespeare plays for 4 or 5 years now, every summer is highlighted by the experience. When it was free we donated wholeheartedly at the end of the play, now that tickets cost money we became "Swan" members - and donated some more. The plays are always well executed, in acting and directing, in the great sets and lighting - the Shady Shakespeare experience is always unique and exhilarating. Another great thing is the free admission to school children - promoting culture and art to youths.
